On 14th March this year, Calne Lions hosted a Prostate Screening event in association with The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust (GFCT). The club subsidised the cost of 100 PSA blood tests, allowing members of our community to book a test for just £10.
On the day we had a brilliant turnout, with only 6 missed appointments. Phlebotomists sent by the charity conducted the blood tests quickly and professionally and gentlemen attending the screening were seen promptly.
Results of the PSA tests were sent out to participants within days of the screening event. Results are presented as a traffic light; green results are within normal range, amber mean results are slightly elevated and may need further checks and red results are deemed abnormal and require a follow up with a doctor.
Whilst Calne Lions are not made aware of any specific individual’s actual result, the Graham Fulford Charitable Trust did send the club an overview of the results from our screening event. 80.9% of our participants received a green, 7.4% returned an amber result and 11.7% had a red result.
Early stages of Prostate Cancer often show no symptoms, but if caught early it can often be successfully treated. Although no one wants to receive news of an abnormal result, early detection is vital. Calne Lions hopes that our PSA screening event was helpful for those that participated, either offering reassurance or highlighting that further investigation is needed.
Based on the uptake of this first event, Calne Lions have already booked another, which will take place on 5th September. Booking for this will go live soon.
